The Woke Generation - Fighting Back

It's called the credit score system and its a very real thing

I would suggest that both the federal and state governments in the US haven't learned the lessons of the race riots of the 1960s, 70s, 80s or 90s.

I would posit they don't have the will or the political mandate from white voters to restructure/re-educate the police to be culturally sensitive. Until that's done there are going to be more Rodney Kings and George Floyds

I feel that re-educating the police may not help though, because there are always going to be those bad apples, who are going to choose to be bad apples, regardless of what they are taught. Or is it possible with the right training, that an entire nation will not have any bad apples in the police for decades?

Probably not. It will take a few more generations and a little more redistribution of wealth for cultural change to occur in the police.

Instead of casually killing black people more police should be more like this officer



After all Love conquers all

All I see in the photo is a cop kissing someone. What's that got to do with not killing black people? I mean Derek Chauvin for example, probably kissed his spouse on his own time, most likely. That doesn't mean that if you kiss your lover, it's a sign of being a good person, is it?

It's saying that cops should be more flexible when it comes to dealing with people.

That they shouldn't just "serve and protect" those who are "like" them in every way. They should also "serve and protect" those who are not "like" them.

Well if this is a cop dealing with a person on duty, I don't think most people would want cops kissing them while on duty either, if that is what this is?

Probably not.....but I don't believe the picture of the cop kissing that guy was meant to be taken literally. It was meant to be symbolic.

Or the race riots of the 1900's, 10's and 20's. when these same things had happened before. This crap has happened every 50-60 years or so since the civil war. It's like a once-a-generation reminder that not much has changed yet.

Actually the riots in the 1900s. 10s and 20s were instigated by local government and police. Police and state guards actively worked with armed vigilantes hunted down and killed innocent black civilians. In other countries that's called a crime against humanity.

I understand it was meant to be symbolic, it just comes across the wrong way, like a cop trying to show off his kissing ability or just showing off PDA, or something like that.

Cops should love all their constituents. Only use lethal force until it's absolutely necessary

But this guy in the picture seems more like a boyfriend or hook up buddy, rather than someone the police have to deal with a in a professional manner.

Husband and husband actually

Oh okay, but if they are married, then I do not think this can be used as an example as to how the police should behave, because police officers are going to treat their spouses differently, than they would people in a more professional situation.

I mean "make love not war"

Protect and serve.
